(4) K-3 Wacky Comparisons series. Illustrated by Bill Bolton. Two lines of rhyming text combine with cartoony illustrations to convey the concepts of height and weight. The perspectives are entertaining, but some comparisons aren't exactly specific, and many of the rhymes stumble ("How much does a triceratops weigh? / The same as 4.2 million gummy bears, I dare say"). A text box includes measurements in English units with metric equivalents. Reading list. Review covers these Wacky Comparisons titles: How Heavy? and How Tall?.
